Falls Church's citizens task force on its beleaguered GEORGE bus service presented its report to the F.C. City Council tonight, calling for further scaling back the service at a net cost to the City of $117,000.

Ironically, keeping the service alive will be cheaper for City taxpayers than terminating the service, altogether. With the buses deemed of no re-sale value, the City would wind up owing the federal government $250,000 for the buses if it abandoned the program, according to the report.
